High throughput extrusion additive manufacturing – rate limits and system design

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process in which a polymer feedstock is melted and extruded through a nozzle while guided by a motion system, resulting in a three-dimensional part. FFF is applicable across a range of length scales and with a wide variety of thermop...
